Got figs?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The Advance Food section is thrilled to receive your garden photos and weekly updates on the yard’s blossoming status. So keep the correspondence coming! Also, check out a brand new season of “Garden Variety,” a column launched last summer, that starts again next week with the Tierno’s garden in Midland Beach. The one topic we’re particularly interested in right now is figs. Do send the history of your tree to FOOD@siadvance.com. Photos are always welcome.
